In Tucson Manolito and the Cannons run into Johnny Ringo who is known as a deadly bounty hunter although he did save Manolito's life. They learn he has been sent by the Army to arrest the Apache Keono for killing an Army Pima scout and stealing an Army horse. He is hiding in the Apache village under the protection of Tularosa who will use any excuse to fight the whites. Johnny refuses to cancel his mission so Manolito with Big John's blessing decides to try to intercede between Johnny and Tularosa. Meanwhile, Blue is sent to the Army post where Maj. Ramsey refuses to change his orders. While Manolito talks to Tularosa, Johnny captures Keono who left camp on the stolen horse. Johnny and Manolito leave with the prisoner but unfortunately the Apaches spot them. The two are trapped by the Apaches with limited help arriving in the form of Big John, Blue and a few men but little ammo. It appears hopeless when most of their ammo is gone but the Army arrives to drive off the Apaches. The Major has been relieved for poor judgment. Peace is preserved but Manolito realizes that Johnny has a death wish.
